Insulting an EGG? UMNO, how low can you get?

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 24, 2008) : The Seputeh Umno Youth division lodged a police report today against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, claiming she had insulted the Royal Malaysian Police and the egg, which is an essential food of the underprivileged.

The division’s deputy head Alawi Dahalin and several other members lodged the report at the Brickfields police station.

Alawi said he had heard Kok complain about the food she was given while detained under the ISA, at a press conference at the DAP headquarters in Petaling Jaya, shown on the night news on TV on Sept 20, a day after she was released from custody.

He said Kok had said the food she was served was "fit only for dogs". ( She actually said that the food is better slightly better than for the dogs, but who cares if the play of word is more important)

"By saying this, she had insulted the police and the poor. Eggs are an important food for low-income earners and the poor. As an elected representative of the people she should not have said that," he said.

UMNO really is scraping the bottom of the barrel. In the English Newspaper, they were talking about ISA review/ repeal/ ethics. In Utusan, they were talking about eggs and Teresa's alleged insult. What a contrast of academic intelligence. After Muhammad Taib's claim that Teresa insulted the poor by insulting the eggs, the so called Malays NGOs came in with their own statements. If Muhammad Taib is so caring to the poor, perhaps he can spend some Aussie Millions that he brought back to Malaysia undeclared to them.
